1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Juta-Roshka track is designed for those with limited time who crave an adventure in high-mountainous terrain. This trail starts from the village of Juta in the Khevi province (Kazbegi Municipality), traverses the Caucasus Range via Chaukhi Pass, passes by the majestic Chaukhi Mountains, descends to the captivating Abudelauri Lakes (known for their different colors: White, Blue, and Green), and concludes in the quaint village of Roshka in Khevsureti. The tour offers breathtaking views of valleys, lakes, towering rocky massifs of Khevi and Khevsureti, and the intriguing natural phenomenon of Rochka Rocks – massive boulders scattered across the Abudelauri River valley.
